#MandalasForMarinke

mandalas for marinke

The world has lost a beautiful spirit. Marinke Slump, known to many as Wink, from the blog A Creative Being has succumbed to the struggle with depression and suicide. The online craft community has been devastated. My initial reaction was a painful mix of sadness, shock and fear. In the face of such devastating news I wanted to do all that I could to bring our community together and thus was born the #MandalasForMarinke project, a collaborative crochet art project designed to honor Wink’s life and work and celebrate her amazing creativity in a way that allows her art to keep inspiring others even though she is now gone. It is intended as a way to help the many affected crafters channel their own grief and complex feelings upon hearing the news.

This project accepted submissions for several months and received contributions from several hundred amazing crafters all around the world. More than 1000 mandalas were collected, and they were displayed in near-daily blog posts here on Crochet Concupiscence for over one year. The project celebrates Marinke’s life and work and raised awareness about all aspects of depression, suicide and mental health issues.

I am currently working on an art book to showcase this amazing work, and I am applying to locations for hosting an art show. Ideally, I would like to find a space to display all of the mandalas at once, also offering community crafting and events to raise additional awareness about depression. I am also seeking opportunities to display smaller groups of the contributions in appropriate settings to further raise awareness

I was both touched and humbled by all of the creativity and love that came from so many people in making these mandalas, and I am honored to be able to share the art, stories and information that came with those contributions. I hope that Marinke would be proud.

FAQ About #MandalasForMarinke

Who was Wink? What happened?

Marinke was a crochet designer that I met online several years ago when she shared her story for my book Crochet Saved My Life. She was very open on her blog about her struggles with depression. Sadly, she couldn’t win that battle. You can read the post about this from her sister on A Creative Being. Read Marinke’s story here.

Why mandalas?

Wink really brought the crochet mandala pattern into the limelight and it took off throughout the craft world. She used other people’s patterns in creative ways on her blog, creating stunning posts showcasing color inspiration. She created her own original crochet mandala patterns that so many people have used. Plus the mandala is a meditative item to crochet and can be healing for yourself as you work it. Here is a look at Wink’s mandala patterns and other crochet mandala patterns.

How has this project raised awareness about depression?

  • Each contribution was posted online here on Crochet Concupiscence with the story / info the maker has shared. The early contributions included information direct from Wink’s blog. The first year of contributions included at least one bit of information about depression, whether that was
  • The contributions are being collected for one or more shows to raise awareness about depression (as well as about the health benefits of crochet).
  • The works being gathered into a crochet art book. This will be gifted to various libraries and organizations to help raise awareness. Funds generated will go to support the art shows that will be raising awareness. A portion of any additional funds will be donated to a related organization.
  • Many people contributed mini mandalas (hundreds of them!) that are being freely gifted to folks who are in need of a smile, who have been affected by depression/ suicide and/or who need a tangible reminder that they are not alone.

Can I share this page?

Yes, please do! The more people we can reach to support each other during this time and celebrate Wink’s work, the better. Make sure to link back here so people know how to participate. Feel free to use either of the photos above in your posts if you want to.

Is the #MandalasForWink project the same as #MandalasForMarinke?

crochet mandalas

No, but we are happy to work hand in hand. #MandalasForWink is a separate project honoring Wink, created by the team at Design Wars. People around the world are asked to share a crochet mandala online with that hashtag to spread Wink’s beautiful inspiration far and wide. Anyone who joins the #MandalasForWink project is absolutely welcome to send that same mandala (or any other crochet mandala) in to the #MandalasForMarinke project as well.

I have other ideas about how I’d like to contribute or collaborate. How can I let you know?

Contact me via email (kathryn.vercillo on gmail) with your message. I’d love to hear it.

A few of these have been identified and the post reflects these updates. Some of these are still seeking their makers if those people want to be identified publicly!

A few of the mandalas were also featured in a Day of the Dead crochet art exhibit. And there was also a crochet mandala tree made for Wink.

    I made WInks Spoke Mandala yesterday in her honor. I will be mailing it the weekend. Such a beautiful talent gone too soon. She wrote my favorite blog. I love her mandalas but I am a HUGE fan of her fat bottom granny bags. Just gorgeous. Thank you for all you have done. <3

      Thanks for your message. I also really love Wink’s bag, which was one of the newest projects she created. Beautiful work!

      I have been trying to find the PATTERN for Mandalas for Marinke. If anyone can help me I will most certainly be thankful. I have been searching and I have found everything but the actual PATTERN. Regards, Linda

      • Kathryn Post Author Reply

        There is no specific pattern to use for this project. It was suggested that people use patterns that Marinke had created, some of which are rounded up at https://www.crochetconcupiscence.com/2015/07/crochet-mandala-patterns-by-marinke/ (although not all are currently available), but she also had other patterns in published magazines, and she contributed to a book that is out now of crochet mandala patterns as well.

    This is an awesome tribute to Wink and I’d like to participate. I’m a beginner but am attempting her mandala from Tuts, the yellow, grey and white. I’m having problems starting the first round in mustard, round 6 I believe it is. You start with dc4tog. Can you help please??

    • Kathryn Post Author Reply

      Hi Brenda,

      I haven’t done that mandala myself yet but hopefully I can help.

      Here are two links to info on how to dc4tog:

      – http://www.crochetme.com/glossary/double-crochet-four-together-dc4tog.aspx
      – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywvsqut31dk

      Basically what you are doing is creating 4 dc next to each other but leaving the last step off of each one until the very end when you cluster them all together with the final yarn over and pull through.

      Let me know if there’s more I can do to help.

    I read “Crochet Saved My Life”, I was in a dark time of my life, and Wink’s book was an inspiration. When I crochet I am able to relax and forget everything for a while. I have Depression and Social Anxiety. I was in 2 mentally and emotionally abusive relationships, the last one the abuse was from my former husband & his daughter. They are out of my life and finally, through trusted friends I met someone who is good and loving…he even loves my 3 cats and dog. Thank you Wink you are loved and missed.

    • Kathryn Post Author Reply

      So glad that you were able to come through to the other side of those relationships and find a loving connection. HUGS.

    Hi Kathryn, So happy to see that you have created this project in Marinke’s honor for depression awareness . I would so very much like to participate creating a mandala for “Wink”. I do have a question though… I would like to purchase a pattern or two of the mandalas Marinke has listed in her Raverly Shoppe. Do you know if her family will continue the sales of her patterns? I could make one using a free pattern she shared with us but I rather purchase 2 of the 3 she has on her Ravelry page. Can you provide any information regarding the sales of her patterns please. Thank you so very much. Lika

    • Kathryn Post Author Reply

      I don’t have any information yet about what’s happening with the sales from her patterns. It is my hope that they have access to all of her accounts and will be able to utilize those funds but I haven’t heard anything specific yet. I will be reaching out to them when I am able to get their contact information – while also respecting their need to go through the grieving process at this time. I’ll let you know as soon as I have additional information.

    Hi Kathryn, Thank you for doing this wonderful project in honour of Wink and bringing people together to shine a light on a very dark subject. I found her crochet website last year and subscribed straight away. Even though I had not met Wink in person I just loved what she did. I was profoundly affected when her sister wrote of her passing and finally got some time to work on a couple of mandalas for your project, however it will be a few days before I finish and post. I do hope you will accept my late submissions. I do apologise for the delay, but I would rather finish them well. Kind regards. Toni : : Sydney : : Australia

        G’day Kathryn,
        Thank You for all your time & effort as I know how it takes so much time & effort to collect, photograph & put everything together… I wonder if Marinke/Wink realised how much love there was for her here in this world & how much inspiration, pride & satisfaction she gave ppl with her colour therapy & willingness to share her creativity to us all… May she RIP & May her name be always associated with Crochet Mandalas…
        I posted you a parcel from Australia on the 15th so I hope it arrives safely soon… OOroo… Bethel of Bethania
